Description: This exhaustive reference/text systematically introduces the basic theories and experimental methods of anionic polymerization as well as the synthesis, analysis, and characteristics of anionic polymerized products - detailing the controlled synthesis of linear and branched polymers, random and block copolymers, graft copolymers, macromonomers, and functionalized polymers, as well as many other substances.

Emphasizing the relationship between fundamental principles and commercial applications, Anionic Polymerization presents the definitions and requirements of controlled anionic polymerization...examines the structures of organometallic initiators...discusses structure-activity relationships of initiators...explains the kinetics, mechanisms, and stereochemistry of anionic polymerization...delineates the production of general purpose and specialty elastomers for use in tires, shoes, and adhesives... and more.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 706-710) and index.
